UNIVERSAL JOINT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,503, dated June 7, 1887.

Application filed March 3t, 1887. Serial No. 233,148.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. FENNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New London, in the eountyof New London and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Universal Joints, of

. which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in universal joints, as set forth in the following specification and claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a universal joint. Fig. 2 is a section in the plane was,

Fig.1. Fig. 3 is a section in the plane 3/ y,'

passes through the bolt D the bolt E holds the (No model.)

bolt D in place, even if the nut ot' the bolt D should become loosened or removed by strain or by accident.

The bolts D E prevent spreading of the forks A B, and the block 0 prevents compression of the forks A B. Ihe said forks are thus protected against breakage through any severe strain brought to bear upon them.

That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the forks A B, of the block 0, fitting both forks, the bolt D, made to extend through the fork A and the block 0, and held in position by its head at one end, its nut at the opposite end, and the bolt E, made to extend through the fork B, the block C, and the bolt D, said bolt E being held in its place by its head at one end and its nut at the opposite end, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
